Police SCUM

[WaltonRed]

Video reveals G20 police assault on Ian Tomlinson moments before he died | UK news | guardian.co.uk

 

Woeful.

[philyhamann]

In before retirement on medical grounds, and pension.

[WaltonRed]

It will be no doubt covered up like everything involving the police.

 

How must his family feel looking at that?

 

Its sickening.

[Guest ShoePiss]

That's terrible treatment by the Police, something that we as match goers have had to endure on many many occasions. It seems that if you're protesting or in the vicinity of a protest the same treatment can be applied.

 

That man died of a heart attack, I'd guess he would have died of one shortly regardless of the Police but that attack must have triggered it on that day.

[Section_31]

Disgusting, I hope he goes down for life and the rest of those coppers lose their jobs.

[Stu Monty]

Protesters aren't people. You have to remember that. They are sub-human scum.

 

I'd imagine there was a senior officer there. He should be fired too unless a report went in; which it won't have.

I initially wrote out a pretty long, balanced post on the whole thing and then realised 'fuck it, you've all already made up your mind and your opinions can't be challenged anyway'.

[fowlerisgod]

That is a disgrace!

Well that was pretty stupid wasn't it?

[Guest ShoePiss]

I'd be interested in reading your point of view.

[dennis tooth]

It's alright guys, market forces will take care of us. The guardian sat on that one for a bit must be getting piles.

[Randy Marsh]

Sickening. Truely sickening.

[Dirk]

I initially wrote out a pretty long, balanced post on the whole thing and then realised 'fuck it, you've all already made up your mind and your opinions can't be challenged anyway'.

 

Isn't that what you do, defend the police at all costs without knowing the full facts?

[Strontium]

I initially wrote out a pretty long, balanced post on the whole thing and then realised 'fuck it, you've all already made up your mind and your opinions can't be challenged anyway'.

 

 

I'd say post it anyway - I'm somewhat intrigued as to how the wanton slaughter of an unarmed man can be presented in a balanced way!

 

Needless to say, I think that video depicts what we call an open and shut case.

 

Or to put it another way, Chris: if I went up to a guy in the street and belted him in the back of a head with a 2 by 4 for no reason, causing him to suffer a massive heart attack and die, then it's a reasonable bet I wouldn't be seeing daylight for a decade or two.

[Stouffer]

He fell.

[Randy Marsh]

Police said he was impeding ambulance crew. Where have we heard that kind of bullshit before? A certain 20th anniversary next week springs to mind. Typical police cover up

[odris]

Felt sick watching the video and knowing only moments later that he died. So sad.

[WaltonRed]

There is no defence Chris.

 

If he had been up in their faces giving grief then you can paint it a certain way, he was walking along doing FUCK ALL.

[Spy Bee]

I think maybe Mr Royle is just going to complain about generalising the entire police force based on the actions of one copper seen in this video?

[Rico1304]

Chris I usually back you up on these points but at face value that video is pretty damning.

 

You've admitted in the past that there are bad apples in the force - looks like this is one that will be rooted out.

[RedKnight]

That's pretty damning evidence in that video.

[Tyler Durden]

Lets be honest whether there is somehow a balanced view of it or not i think we all know fuck all will happen, someone might lose there job but thats about it. As SD said if that was someone from the general public theyd get jailed, plus 50 cctv cameras would have picked it up.

[WaltonRed]

Fair play to the Guardian.

[kelster]

How naive can you lot get? They only pushed him. If they can get away scott free with pumping 5 rounds into someone's head in front of everyone on the tube, then some guy having a heart attack is a walk in the park.

[Liverpool lad]

I cannot believe what I have just seen.

 

I think questions need to be asked about the way the police dealt with it that day, the talk I heard of them keeping people confined for 8 hours and taking their names was a bit much.
